Introducing Nokia N97 mini

By JBC on 02 September 2009

STUTTGART, Germany – Following in the footsteps of its bigger, older brother, the Nokia N97 mini was unveiled this morning at Nokia World 09. Sporting new homescreen widgets and a host of usability improvements, the N97 mini still packs 8GB of storage, a 3.2-inch touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard into its 14.2mm thin frame. It’s also the first Nokia device to sport Lifecasting with Ovi – a new partnership with the world’s largest social network, Facebook. The N97 mini is based on the same tilt display design of its N97 big brother, built into a smaller body complete with new design touches.

Lifecasting enables users to update their Facebook status directly from the device’s homescreen. It doesn’t stop there though as location details can also be updated, enabling a whole new level of social sharing and communication. With the ability to completely customise the homescreen, users will be able to make their N97 mini truly unique.

The 3.2-inch touchscreen opens up a new world of software improvements including flick scrolling and a range of new experiences including new homescreen widgets. What’s more, the software update will also be available next month for existing N97 devices.

The Nokia N97 mini works seamlessly with Ovi Store where users can add new applications, widgets, ringtones and other content to their device. It also sports Ovi Maps and comes with integrated A-GPS and compass along with with voice navigation for driving or walking. Over 155,000 points of interest are also available through Lonely Planet guides and restaurants through Michelin Guides.

Up to 12 days standby time are on offer and up to 28 hours music playback (in offline mode). The 5-megapixel camera comes with dual LED flash and video light, along with a Carl Zeiss Tessar lens. The 8GB of on board memory can be expanded to 24GB with the addition of a 16GB microSD card.

The Nokia N97 mini will be available next month for an estimated retail price of EUR450 before taxes and subsidies. Check out our preview gallery below. And see the Social Media Release here.

N97 mini lacks so many features present in original N97 and still it is priced higher than the original one.Are you going to buy it just because of its looks and size.When N900 is just €50 costlier, who is going to buy N97 mini.Check out its comparison with N97

Nokia N97 is my favorite phone specially in black color, now I am going to buy this phone from here http://www.nextgenmobileshop.co.uk/phones-Nokia-N97Black as suggested by my friend.

This has to be the most outdated, useless phone existing. Doesn’t have anything remotely like a useful interface. Doesn’t sync with much. However, it does have one great feature, it is so bad it is easy for us to throw away (tossed in air and shot at skeet range) this test phone and not have wasted resources on buying 3500 units for work. The only thing this phone was missing is a bag, battery, and pull out antenna.

Friends for me this phone is not upto the mark. For businessman this n97 is totally no no. since it don`t let you use quickoffice .so u cann`t even open word and excel files forget about editing them. u cann`t purchase quickoffice since its not available anywhere. Secondly, it get hang again & again even the latest version .Thirdly, it doesn`t connect on bsnl wi-fi. When i enquired on nokia toll free no. they surprised me by saying that n97 cann`t be connected through wi-fi.Even the service center people do not know anything. I feel betrayed.

N97 have microsoft office like, e.g Microsoft Excel?

Abhilash Says:
November 11th, 2009 at 8:16 am

That was a good review.

I think nokia has decreased the space for the new mini when compared to earlier version. rest all features are almost same except voice calling and push to talk.

Screen is smaller, but it is handy and easily usable.

I think I am going to rock with it.
